I. The Gifts of the Church at Anti
och (v. 1).
Young as Antioch, the new religions
center, was, she had prophets and
teachers. Such are essential to church
life. Indeed, they are never absent
from tiie true-church, in Ephesians
4:8-12 Paul says that when Christ as
cended He gave gilts unto men for the
purpose of perfecting tiie saints unto
the work of tiie ministry.
it. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth
(vv. 2,3).
While the live ministers were pray
ing and fasting, the Spirit of God com
maUded them to send forth Barnabas
aud Saul. The work of evangelizing
the world was laid so heavily upon
these men that they refrained from eat
ing in order to seek the will of the
Lord in prayer. This is the kind of
fasting that meets God's approval.
From the fact that they were directed
to send forth those whom the Spirit
called, we learn that the real call to
Christ's service comes from the Spirit.
'The Spirit calls and the church sec
onds the motion by sending tiiose who
are called. They sent tiie very best I
men from the church at Antioch.
HL Preaching the Word of God In
Cyprus (vv. 4,5).
We are hot told as to why they first
went to Cyprus, but we infer tiiat it
was ; because it was the home of Bar
nabas. It is most natural that those
who-' have heal’d good news should go
with it first to their kindred and
friends. As they went forth they
preached the Word of God; not civic
righteousness, current history, philoso
phy, etc. The great need today Is
iSpirit-called and Spirit-filled men ']
preaching God's Word. (
IV. Withstood by Elymas the Sor
cerer (vv. 6-12).
W hen Barnabas and Saul by invlta
tioniwere telling Sergius Paulus of the i
Word of God, Elymas maliciously i
sought to turn his mind from the faith. (
Thia is tiie first obstacle they encoun- (
tered. This opposer is the same one
Who«je®n»e to Adam in Eden and to
Jesus in tiie wilderness. He is tiie ~
enemy of God and man. He now seeks i
to bar the gospel as it enters upon its t
career of the conversion of the hea- c
then. Saul denounced him in the most c
seating terms, calling him tiie child of v
the djsvil, full of guile and villainy, and i
pronounced him the enemy of all right- J
accusing him of perverting i
the rigii t ways of the Lard.
Happily, the deputy heeded Saul's
teaefiTng and believed the gospel. It ’
Was in this connection that Saul’s *
name* was changed to Paul.
V. In the Synagogue at Antioch in
Pisidia (vv. 15, 16).
Ffffln Paphos Paul and Barnabas
went 1 , northward to Perga. From ,
Pergft they went into Antioch in Pi
sidia, where they entered the syna
gogue on the Sabbath day. Tlipiigli
lie was sejit to the Gentiles lie does
not depart from the order of begin
ning j’witli tiie Jews. After the usual
reading of the Scriptures, upon tiie
invitation of tiie rulers, Paul deliv
ered "*the discourse recorded in verses
17-41.,. This sermon is worthy of care
ful study. It consists of four parts:
(1) historical (vv. 17-23) ; apologet
ical ’(vv. 24-37) ; (3) doctrinal, (vv.
38. 38); (4) practical (vv. 40, 41). It
sets forth the missionary message for
all times and lands. Its essence

mon She presented tiie glorified and

Worg. ’
VI. The Effect of the Sermon (vv.
42-52}.
Miltiy of the Jews and proselytes
requested them to speak to them
again. Almost the whole city came
to Iwar the Word of God the next
Sabbath. This great crowd incited
the Jealousy of the Jews. 'This jeal
ousy?'could not long be restrained: it
brok< out in open opposition. This
opposition was in turn answered by
rejection of them and turning
to tile Gentiles.

have shown that the power plant will
develop up to 50 miles an hour with j
ease. Features of motor construc
tion are the large three-bearing
crankshaft and 12-inch long connect
ing rods, extra long rods being pro
vided to reduce vibration to a mini
mum. A circulating splash oiling
system gives automatic lubrication
throughout. Another important fea
ture, which is standard Equipment on
all Buick cars, is the automatic car
buretor heat control through which
ideal vaporizing conditions are ob
tained.
The transmission is <W the selective
sliding gear type, three speeds for

tion, being virtually an integral part

is three-quarter floating type, all the
weight of the car being carried' on
the axle tubes and only driving tor
que and steadying of the wheels be
ing taken by the axle l driving shafts.

cord tires in this size ever manufac
tured and were built especially to
meet Buick requirements for the new
four-cylinder cars.

NORMA TALMADGE IN
‘GHOSTS OF YESTERDAY"
; i “Ghosts of Yesterday,” adapted
><from “Two Women,” by Rupert
.! Hughes, and featuring Norma Tal
t madge, will be shown at the Alcazar
>' theater tomorrow. It depicts the
• ■ change of heart of a fast-living cab
-jaret singer through the influence of
i ■ true love which comes to her as she
I I poses for the completion of the por
trait of an artist's dead wife. She
’ feels, however, that he does not care
> for her and so she returns in her
- pride to the gay life of the Bal Taha
. rin, where she queened of yore, after
i slashing into shreds the painting
1 which she thinks stands between
them.
, Her departure brings the artist to
: realize his love for her too, and he
-i follows her to Paris, where he re-
! claims her from the empty life, of
its gayest set. Although he loses his
■ eyesight from :> wound received in
the scrimmage at the Tabarin, when
‘ he come for her, he finds the great
i t. treaure which every man seeks
■ a true helpmeet, a wife to cheer
and inspire the rest of his life.
